BlockFi is looking for a Senior Cloud Data Engineer to join our growing team!

About Your Team

They deploy and operate our centralized data platform to manage the storage (S3 data lake), processing (Spark/Flink), and real time streaming infrastructure for the larger organization.

• Write code that allows consumers of your components to implement infrastructure as code libraries (AWS CDK, Pulumi, etc) so that other teams can use them with ease
• Describe and document examples on how teams can perform different tasks that integrate with your infrastructure
• Construct your flows so that the absolute highest security standards are implemented from the start for your consumers
• Profile your work to maintain metrics on systems so that your documentation describes the limits and tradeoffs of each set of architectures
• Simplify and improve as you go
